Old iTunes on iMac power pc won't sync with new iPhone ios7
I have an old power pc iMac with all my iTunes library on it, I also have a newer intel dual core iMac & an iPhone 4. To add a playlist to my iPhone I need to be able to sync with iTunes on my old power pc iMac but the versions of iTunes are no longer compatible & I can't update my power pc iMac as it won't run the later versions of iTunes. If I connect my iPhone to my dual core iMac it will erase all the stuff I put on before it was incompatible. Is there a way that I can get all the devices to talk to each other ( particularly to share my iTunes library on all 3 devices) ?
The short answer is that you'll have to start syncing your phone with the Intel iMac. Probably the easiest solution is to move your music library to the newer computer with an external hard drive (unless the computers are connected via ethernet cable filesharing would be very slow). Since I don't have access to such an old computer (and the version of iTunes it is running) I'm not sure if you can use Home Sharing to share the iTunes library of the old Mac with the new one and whether that would solve your problem.

Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???
thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!

Got new Iphone and labtop with Windows 7.
Now can only find the old purchased music via old phone in Purchase History.
How can I get the purchased files into Music list in Itunes, in order to sync with new Iphone ?Go to the iTunes app on your iPhone. On the bottom tap Purchased. Once that loads, choose the Artist you just downloaded, then the album, then click the cloud icon. This will download the music to your iPhone and will not charge you for it.

I recently bought a new laptop, installed iTunes and imported my library during a sync with my iPhone. Now I've noticed that any tracks that were ripped into my library from a CD won't play on my iPhone. They're visible but with a red circle next to them.
Hi, BartleyBauer.
If the media that you are attempting to sync plays in iTunes, try removing the preference to sync music as this remove the media from the device. Once this is done, try syncing the media again.

Swingreader for baseball won't sync with my iPhone? Any ideas?
2 things MT, I had same problem... Go to the Apps section and make sure you are downloading the right version of SwingReader b cuz there are 2 or 3 and one says 2010 and another (w same Name) says 2012-
Two, make sure your software for your i Phone/Pad is up to Date - 5.1 etc as I had the fun of missing on both fronts and it wouldn't load... then it would load but not work... Now all is working. Hope this helps.

IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer
I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!
What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?
